That would be the Rennkompressor:

I don't know about the new one (see link) but I bought one a few years ago in the UK and got thoroughly pissed off with it. The original pump head was practically unusable, so I purchased an updated one. That was fine for about 5 uses, before the rubber seal that compresses around the valve disintegrated. I could not get spares and had to improvise an insert with thick rubber vacuum tubing.
When I came to the US, I bought a floor pump for $19.99. The pump head is far superior in operation and durability.
